Just before the start of the first Sunday of the NFL season, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill found himself in a sticky situation when he was reportedly detained by police.

Police detained Hill, and nobody actually knew why at the time when the video showed him in handcuffs.

It turns out that it wasn’t that bad.

Tyreek Hill was detained by police for a driving violation outside of Hard Rock Stadium, but his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he would suit up and play Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jeff Darlington of ESPN later stated that Tyreek was cited for reckless driving after being pulled over for speeding.

Hill being placed in handcuffs was due to him having a verbal altercation with cops.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network further spoke on the matter and added that Tyreek Hill was slammed to the ground and detained by officers.

Teammate Calais Campbell was said to be there and attempted to cool things off.

In the end, Rapoport stated no citation was given, and Hill was let go.

Tyreek Hill’s Situation is Eerily Similar To That of Golf Star Scottie Scheffler

Only Tyreek Hill could find himself in handcuffs outside the stadium hours before a Week One game.

Police reportedly detained the star wide receiver as video showed Hill being put into handcuffs right outside Hard Rock Stadium, only hours before the Miami Dolphins were supposed to open their season against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The situation was eerily similar to that of golfer Scottie Scheffler during this year’s PGA Championship when he was taken down and arrested.

Unlike Scheffler — Tyreek would not have a mugshot and would be let go on the scene.

“Boycott The NFL” Is Trending On Social Media Following The League’s Controversial Pregame Decision Before Opening Kickoff Between Chiefs And Ravens

Fans are calling for a boycott of the NFL following Thursday night’s kickoff game between the Chiefs and Ravens.

The AFC rivals faced off in an entertaining affair that ended with a potential game-tying play being scrubbed because of a foot on the line. However, the fixture also proved frustrating at the start due to multiple early flags.

Another point of contention was that the Black national anthem, ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’ was sung before ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’

Tasha Cobbs Leonard, a Grammy Award-winning artist, sang said anthem at Arrowhead Stadium ahead of the game.

Black National Anthem Being Performed Ahead Of Fixture Between Chiefs And Ravens Sparked Outrage

There was some outrage after it was announced that the song would be performed before the Chiefs and Ravens squared off. NFL teams began including it after the murder of George Floyd in 2020, and it has been performed before the Super Bowl every year since.

Of course, some fans are for it, but based on last night’s reactions, most are against it.

“Just stop watching the stupid NFL, the problem will solve itself,” one vented.

“Even the black players are underwhelmed lol,” someone added.

“Dumbest s**t I’ve ever witnessed!” one person wrote.

“Why don’t just have one anthem. We are all Americans lol,” another suggested.

“Yeah, why can’t we have one anthem. The National anthem is for every American. All these other anthems are try to make us divided,” one comment read.

While the anthem’s inclusion has been met with rife criticism, it’s highly unlikely that NFL football will experience any boycott this season. The song being removed from gameday programs is also unlikely.
